SLS App

[sunbuckus 3,567]

Mr. Sun brought to my attention that SLS recently released an app for their services. I finally downloaded it and it looks useable. Anyway, I was wondering what everyone else thought about the app and if anyone knew what the numbers and blue/red circles meant next to your friends names on the friends list.

[two4youinswva 3,068]

Looks like blue/red is a couple, solid red a single female, solid blue a single male.

I have the old one. I guess I should get this new one.

[losAmantes 318]

We still have the old one as well, I hope the new one is much better! Can't seem to find the new one, can you point us in the right direction?

[two4youinswva 3,068]

I just typed "SLS app" on Google Play and it came up.

 

Not sure if it is on Apple.

[JustAskJulie 2,595]

I didn't know the was an old one. The sls website has an announcement about the new Android app and says the apple app is still in the works.

Thanks, that explains it. We'll be looking for it.

[JustAskJulie 2,595]

On their website now:

 

SLS Mobile App Preview

Apple and Android APPs are now available.

 

IOS is version 1 which has a few minor issues. Those issues were corrected and are awaiting approval with Apple.

 

As a paid member of SLS, we invite you to be one of the first to download and try it out.

 

This is only the beginning of what we have planned for the app.

I thought that might be the case but one of the couples we know has a red circle. I'll have to check the profile in detail to see if their status has changed!

[SW_PA_Couple 4,024]

Ah, the app is only for paid members. That is a good thing.

[JustAskJulie 2,595]

I'm seeing emails on the app that don't show up on the website. Weird. Potentially more proof to the theory that some emails disappear into the ether on sls.

I downloaded the app this morning, but it has never made it beyond "loading".

[Mr_Wylde 15]

Outstanding! Just found the app for my iPhone and can't wait to begin playing with it. At first sight, it's way better than their mobile web version...

[SW_PA_Couple 4,024]

I didn't know the was an old one.

Well, actually, there is no older app. I used the wrong word. As another person pointed out, it is a "mobile Web version".

Hubby is looking for it on his tablet now

The app is quite nice for being able to add pics directly from your phone... and since we take 90% of our pics with our phones these days that makes life just a little bit easier.

One little thing about uploading pics directly from your phone. If you don't want people to know where you are make sure to have "geo-tagging" off.

OK, all this talk if an app influenced me so I downloaded it. But it does have a rather odd feature. Using it, I can see the profiles of all the people who have blocked us.

LMAO! Does it tell you they blocked you?

[SW_PA_Couple 4,024]

No. This was discovered by using the app to read old "sent" messages. I spotted a message from which I was able to link to the profile. I was thinking, "hey, this is great; they've unblocked us." But when I tried to view the same profile using the regular site, I was not able to view -- still blocked.

 

So I dig down some more into sent messages. Found one more "blocked" profile that I was able to view. I have not yet been brave enough to use the app to try to send a message to a profile that had blocked us. But it appears as if I could.

I wonder if they'd see them without using the app. I've been having an email conversation via the app with a couple where the mails don't even show up on the main site.

Ooops.

[two4youinswva 3,068]

I'll say this for them, on the app page they respond to every negative review with what they've done to fix the issue. Not many developers do that

 

My favorite response to a negative review though was "We welcome constructive criticism. This is not constructive".

[SW_PA_Couple 4,024]

An App Store update is waiting for me for version 1.1 of the SLS app. When I click the "What's New", the list of changes and "fixes" is as long as my arm (not my short arm; my right arm).

 

One very intriguing new addition is identified as "phase I of location services". I wonder what that's all about. I guess I'll just have to screw up my courage, as Aaron Thomas Gerber said, and give it a try. I'll let y'all know.

Love that!

Well, I tried. Nothing to write home about. But on the other hand, seem harmless (I do not expect the FBI to show up at our door). Looks like when I take my mobile device with me (who'd have thought) my hot-date searches will center on my GPS location. Still, knowing there are 6,213 hot dates within fifty miles and six months seems a little overwhelming.

 

There have been other improvements. I can no longer "see" the profiles of people who have blocked our profile or whose profiles we have blocked. There is a little more profile information that will be visible. Looks like we will be able to take a picture with the phone and post it straight to our own profile.
